"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!" - Kierkegaard

Holland knew this (and Carlo CocaCola's past) and still made those signings.

It's not like they came to the Wings for free either. Terrible GM work.

I was saying this about Colaiacovo when we first signed him. He gets paid millions to get injured.

Carlo maybe a member of an italian mob. He goes from team to team racketeering a few millions here and there. Being a D is just a cover up.
Just a joke.
I hope he feels better and ready to play for the Wings.

Any Sammy haters want to make a bet, tbh? If Sammy scores 1 goal in the first 3 games that he plays after returning, I get to choose your avatar for a week. If he doesn't, you choose mine. (all pg friendly of course)

I will take that bet!! it's a friwndly enough wager

Lol, count me in too. I am not so much a "Sammy hater" I'm just over his getting injured all the time crap. I in fact used to be one of the few in his corner...the first time he was with the Wings. Those days have passed I am afraid.

"If I can be totally honest, it's not a lot of guys you get impressed by. Actually, it's no one else but him. From the bench, to see what move he makes -- you're like, 'I wish I could do that.' Sometimes you sit on the bench and just think, 'wow,' and you look over to the other bench and they sit there and shake their heads, too. He has great, great skills. I'm probably not going to play with another player who has the kind of skills he has." Mikael Samuelsson on Pavel Datsyuk

I think you mean his teammates shins won't stay healthy. The guy has injured like three players in practice, hasn't he?

He smashed Cleary's face up in a game at Toronto.
